Despite the progress, Pope Francis is still recovering after facing severe bilateral pneumonia
Recently released an update on the state of health, which is in the process of recovering a respiratory problem. The 88 -year -old pontiff had slight improvements in three crucial aspects: breathing, motor skills, and voice use. These improvements rekindled the hope that he can make a public appearance next Sunday (6), during the traditional Angelus prayer. This prayer is usually led from the Apostolic Palace window, where the Pope usually addresses current themes before the crowd gathered in St. Peter’s Square. Since February 9, however, only written versions of the prayer have been released.
Despite the progress, Pope Francis is still recovering after facing severe bilateral pneumonia. He underwent blood tests that, as reported by the Vatican, presented satisfactory results. However, doctors warn that more time will be needed for complete voice recovery, which was affected by damage to the respiratory muscles caused by pulmonary infection. This condition even put your life at risk on two occasions.
According to the Holy See, the Pontiff has maintained its activities adapted. He is in a good mood, continues to work normally and participated, by video conferencing, in a Lent religious ceremony held in the Paulo VI room.
